Drop-off and Pick-Up Times

Both sites will be open for drop-off in the morning from 08:35 – 09:00. 

Both sites will be open for pick-up at the end of the day from 15:05 – 15:20 (gates will open from 15.00). Our total time open is 32.5 hours in a week. 

Parents collect children from designated areas (e.g. classroom exit doors or main staircase/corridor exits directly into outside space).

• A child whose parents are not there at the end of the day will be taken to the school office and wait to be collected.
• If your child is going to be collected by somebody other than yourselves please let the class teacher/office know as soon as possible.

Parents of children in Special Provision classes, who send their children by taxi / mini bus will have their times for pick-up and drop-off confirmed by the transport provider. Those parents who walk or transport their children using their own cars will keep to their current timings.
